I’d recommend borrowing Lasagna Gardening. Once you read through it, you’ll get it. I’ve made a number of planting beds using that method. If you’re patient, it works like a charm. “No digging, no tilling, no kidding!”
We are putting in the biggest garden ever and hubby is actually helping big time this year. Problem is, I think we are going to have more to put in than what we have tilled. We are probably going to have to till another area. The good thing is, we have the space to do it. This will be my 1st attempt at canning. I hope I can keep up with all we are planting. Due to all the rain here in IL, we are putting the majority of our plants/seeds in this week. It’s been too wet to get in the planting beds.
